happy holidays everyone! in light of the season, i’ve decided to turn d*s into a great big giant gift guide until the holidays are over. i’m in the process of moving, so i won’t have time to do in-depth posts until the new year, so each week will be a gift guide arranged by price. so, as a lot of d*s readers are on a budget, this week’s theme is great gifts under $50, so check in every day for great gift ideas for everyone on your list that won’t break the bank…at least 50 ideas in one week :)

i just wanted to extend a warm ‘happy thanksgiving‘ to everyone. i’m taking off tomorrow to celebrate the holiday with family in virginia, so i’ll be back on monday morning.

and, in extra thankful news…we found an apt! ac and i can now begin the redecorating process in new park slope apartment on dec 1- complete with an office nook for d*s headquarters. i hope you all have a wonderful holiday and i’ll see you on monday. xo, d*s
